Eagles Facing Near-Must Win while Banged up?

[T-RO]

The Eagles should beat Detroit at home tomorrow, but they are quite banged up. If they fail to get it done...and sit 1-2, consider what would come next for them:

@Packers, 2-0 this Thursday
Jets
@Vikings
@cowboys 2-0
@Bills 2-0
Bears
Patriots 2-0
Seahawks 2-0

They do have a very soft schedule in their last 5 games. I hope they get buried early.

Detroit will beat Philly, watch and see.

That would be sweet.

Agree. I was looking at the same thing. If they lose to Detroit, it could get really ugly for them.
I hope it does.

Couple of losses in a row and they may start panicking. I know their fans will.

Detroit just beat the Chargers in L.A. they aren't the terrible team of years past

 

[T-RO]

Mods, your decision to move this to the NFL zone is wrong.

They are our chief rival. This is a Cowboys discussion.

 

[Lutonio]

Bad timing for them to have a short week with that Thursday night Packers game.

Maybe we need an NFC Zone, nah....

If that happens they could be looking at 1-3 by this upcoming Friday with the Packers coming up on short week.

Lions on the road? I'm not taking that bet.

Exactly. With more tough road games following, then Pats and Seahawks at home. Flip side of this...if they can somehow get themselves to 5-5...they probably still make the playoffs.

4 of their last 5 are Giants (2x), Skins, and Fins.

Yeah, they could fall behind Dallas and still be in better position in the home stretch. Better to match up the games in the schedule to see where one or the other has an edge.

Both teams beat Washington. We beat them on the road, Philly at home, so slight advantage to Dallas.
We beat the Giants. Philly will beat the Giants. Wash.
Philly lost their NFC South game (Atlanta). If we win ours, (New Orleans), that gives us a game up on them. If we lose that game, we're still even.

I hope it does.

Eagles losing to DET would make my weekend. It might also happen, btw.

 

[RustyBourneHorse]

Wouldn't it be nice if we can just run away with the division like the Pats do every year in their division?

Look what Washington did at Philly. Detroit went on the road and beat the Chargers. I'm taking that bet

Good eye for the contests that have weighted value.

This might sound lame, but if you'd give me a split of the two Eagle games, right here, right now...I'd probably take it. I think a split would give us the division.

Ditto on both!

I think one of the biggest Eagle challenges is "Wentz-belief"

I don't know if the players believe in him and I don't know if he believes in himself. If Philly starts off 3-5 or so, those doubts start to spread...and get into their bone. For us Cowboys that could be a very sweet development. For this year and for years to come.

The next significant injury, those fans are going to turn on him. Especially if Dak is still playing well.
